ALLYSON! I fell down my stairs! It was awesome! Well, okay. Not really, but for some reason, I still think it was hilarious.
Did you hear Benny Hill-like kazoos in the backgroud, because that might explain that.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I took it to mean she had no reservations about eating any one particular food -- she's not attaching any moral value to Coca-Cola, for example. But she also knows not to drink too much of it, or she feels crappy.
Yeah. But "want" is still doing a lot of heavy lifting in framing that as "as much as I want", and "without reservation".
I think it set my back up because, the way I read it, I see her being in a place that actually takes a ton of thought and attentiveness to get to and saying "but why not just do it this way?" like it's just that easy. Do you see what I mean? I know I'm bringing my own issues to it, obviously. But I suspect I'm a lot closer to the mean than she is, and I'm nowhere near the "but I'd eat cake all day!" place.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I would also be happy to pimp WGW. I went once by chance when i was living in London, then twice after had to make special trans-atlantic trips just to attend. It really is that fantastic.

Oog. The thought of "Yakkity Saks" being my life-soundtrack. Oog.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If Benny Hill ends up in Hell, do you suppose he'll be forced to listen to "Yakkity Saks" for all eternity?
(Actually, I have no idea if he's alive or dead.)

Well, um... I hope Satan isn't reading this and getting ideas on how to torture him.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hello, Allyson, you fabulous creature!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, do you promote stuff to the queue out of order? Or delete some submissions? Or do I just have a spotty memory?
Um, I had a notion yesterday (? over the weekend?) to put things that were more "newsy" up first. A few times I've seen things linked multiple places that were in the queue for like the day after tomorrow, so I thought it might be worth doing. I don't know. Is that weird?
Also sometimes I'm afraid I'm putting stuff in the queue from the messages out of order.

Also also, the queue has been working sporadically at best, and sometimes I just get flustered when I realize there hasn't been a new post in a while...
